As I said, you're trying to do much more than just music site.
I honestly believe this is bad cause to support if it stays this way.

Um, well, you pretty much described what the other people were trying to do. Not so much with EFK and Monsterbrony, but Equestrian Reverb specifically and a few others or something. Unless I'm missing something that you guys said you would be doing that ER did not...Freewave wrote:I think we've done a good job of explaining throughout what we want to do and how to make it different from what's outside of here. I too have seen all these labels and sites come through here and fail but i think most have had bad ideas from the start and been unaware of how this community works or how to find ways to succeed and be different. Certainly having unknown artists cluster together for warmth is not the way to success. There's good musicians out there but it requires a little digging by the listener or in this case, us.
When I say pony music is dying, I mean that there aren't very many pony songs that get big anymore. And I'm pretty sure that's what a lot of people mean when they say that.As for the "pony music is dying", i still dont believe its fair to truly it call it that

So to sum it up, this whole blog idea is just to say "here's a song/musician that we liked"? That sounds a lot like what ER was doing, and pretty much every other promotional site/label made. The only difference that it seems you guys are doing, is you're not calling it promotional, just a blog. I'm not sure whether everybody else involved is calling it promotional or not, but it's pretty much a promotional blog. So I'll state it again, what are you guys going to do differently from all the other sites, Monsterybrony, EFK, MiAmore, EquestrianReverb to be specific, that will cause this blog to gain traffic?ClaviSound wrote:The point is that this is just people writing about songs they like. It's not any more ambitious than that, at least to me. As long as I can write about a genre of music I love, then I don't really care if it gets 10 hits or 100. I personally think the reason why this issue is being brought up is people want to present the concept professionally to make a good impression to listeners; people assume this is an undertaking on the scale of sites like EFN and EqD, when really it's not.

Alright, sorry for not reading all 8 pages.Freewave wrote:Honestly we've spent 8 pages talking about the need of why we want to do this, how we want to, and why it's different then what's come before. I really do suggest reading through vs repeating ourselves to every cynic who enters the thread. This ISN"T a music label designed to get a batch of smaller musicians with varying quality noticed by a bigger brony community. It's not self-centered like that. It's a music blog designed to spotlight those who do a great job currently and are worth noticing by a musician or listener who is still interested in listening to this music. Not for your avg Tombstone fan but the person who really loves brony music and listening to or making it still.
As it stands we'll likely dial back some of the more ambitious elements of this blog and focus it as more of a MLR community tumblr with some other stuff as an addition of news, reviews, & events that will be on BMD's existing blog. We can always grow it and expand if we want to and there's an audience who wants that. But we really aren't looking for continued opinions on it at this point if you think its a bad idea. I don't mind some healthy skepticism (on what you would recommend doing) that i've come to expect from MLR but I'm sick of the continued cynicism from those who come in here to derail efforts to make something positive happen.
